Vegan Veggie Burgers

Making veggie burgers without eggs can be a challenge but I found this sweet recipe for vegan veggie burgers on a highschooler's blog.

• 2-3 tortillas, toasted (depending on size)
• 15 oz can lentils (or 3/4 c. lentils, cooked)
• 15 oz can black beans
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp organic vegetable bouillon base
• 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
• 2 cups broccoli florets*
• 1 red bell pepper, roasted*
• 1 tsp xanthen gum (optional)
• Salt, pepper and paprika
• 1/3- 1/2 c. bread crumbs

The list below is what I made it with, topped with kale, and with squash and sweet potato soup and homemade bread on the side. I think the burgers would definitely be better with bell peppers and a little mustard though.

• 3/4 c. lentils, cooked
• a jalepeno and another tiny spicy pepper
• 1.5 cans black beans
• 1 can garbanzos
  
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• minced onions
  
• 1/2 tsp organic vegetable bouillon base
• 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
• Salt, pepper
• 1/3- 1/2 c. bread crumbs

After packing it all together, I rolled each burger in breadcrumbs again which gave them a nice crispy outside. Cooked 'em at 375 for about 30 min.
